Un uomo da bruciare [English translation]

Now that you are the grocery boy

And with tips in your pocket you're a man

At this point you can aim for more

For her too.

Her mother, that hag is always the same

With her murder's look, so venal

She'll become a little kind, at the end.

You'll feel stronger, a real man, oh yes

Talking 'bout the house you'll buy, oh yes

And she will reward you, offering with abandon.

You'll have her, you'll have her, with abandon and with love

You'll have her, but you don't know how much it will cost you!

Run, flee and save something in you!

Don't let them do it,

Don't become a man to burn!

The air, the air that you used to breath not so long ago,

Still smells of him,

of real things, of pure things, of freedom!

Oh no, don't ask yourself where, how,

How you'll drag your life

With whom, with whom you'll cancel your name,

for whom?

"Half pound of ham"

"Yes ma'am...

Is your boy still sick?

... what a pity... would you like some little cheese?"

Your life spent behind a desk, building

A future that could give her,

The confidence, a car, something to be envied.

You'll have her! You'll have her, you'll have her, with abandon and love.

You'll have her, but you don't know how much it will cost yoy.

Run, flee, and save something in you!

And don't let them do it,

Don't become a man to burn!
